Since 2023, Folkestone has celebrated it’s status of becoming the world’s first Music Town with a month-long festival of all things music. Music In May features gigs, jams, workshops, busking, talks and networking meetings throughout the month, across more than 35 music venues across the town. The festival attracts musical tourism as well as providing opportunities for local artists and musicians to perform and for members of the public to attend free educational workshops.
Folkestone Music Town CIC supports the festival and local musicians and promoters by securing public funding and private sponsorship to pay for musical activities and industry professionals, inspiring new and exciting collaborative projects, both within music and across the arts.
The Gig Guide provide free marketing for venues, promoters and musicians 24/7/365 to advertise their events and for members of the public to be able to find out what musical events are happening across the town in one easy-to-use platform.
Every year we produce a printed programme filled to the rafters with gigs, venues and the latest news from Folkestone Music Town!
